Born

Genre

Jazz

Cellist Anja Lechner has been an important proponent of cross-genre musical experimentation, especially in relation to tango music. She is always in search of new works for cello, especially those that blur genre distinctions. Lechner has been a longtime staple in the catalog of the experimentally minded German label ECM. She released the album Bach, Abel, Hume on that label in 2024.

Anja Lechner has also released music as a member of Rosamunde Quartett.
